Torus redwood skirting and architrave, machined in-house by Nottage Timber Merchants in South Wales, is a classic curved moulding suited to period properties and traditional interiors. Available in four nominal widths from 75mm to 150mm, each length runs 4200mm and is supplied unfinished, ready for paint, stain, or varnish.
Specifications
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Material | Redwood (Pinus sylvestris) |
| Grade | Joinery grade |
| Treatment | None - unfinished, ready to decorate |
| Finish | Machined, smooth face |
| Nominal Sizes | 75mm, 100mm, 125mm, 150mm |
| Finished Sizes | 70mm, 95mm, 120mm, 145mm |
| Length | 4200mm |
| Profile | Torus |
What it's used for
- Skirting boards along the base of internal walls in period, traditional, and sympathetic modern renovations
- Architrave sets around internal door frames and window openings to give a neat, finished reveal
- Matching skirting and architrave sets throughout a room to create a consistent moulding detail
- Replacement mouldings in older properties where the torus profile is already the established style
Fitting and handling
Allow the mouldings to acclimatise in the room where they will be fitted for at least 48 hours before fixing, keeping them flat and supported to prevent bowing. Skirting is typically fixed with cut nails or screws through plugged masonry, or adhesive and pins to stud partition walls; architrave is face-nailed to the lining and frame using lost-head nails punched below the surface and filled prior to finishing. Store lengths horizontally on a flat surface, off the ground, in a dry indoor environment until installation.
FAQ
What is the difference between the nominal size and the finished size?
The nominal size is the rough sawn measurement the timber starts at before machining. Once the face and edges are profiled and smoothed, the finished size is what you actually receive - for example, a 100mm nominal board finishes at 95mm.
Can torus redwood skirting be used as both skirting and architrave in the same room?
Yes. The torus profile is designed to be consistent across both skirting and architrave applications, so using the same profile throughout a room gives a cohesive, matched result. You would typically choose a wider board for skirting and a narrower one for architrave.
Does redwood skirting need priming before painting?
Redwood should be knotted with shellac-based knotting solution on any visible knots, then primed with a suitable wood primer before applying top coats. This prevents resin bleed and gives a stable base for paint, particularly on redwood which can have a moderate resin content.
